CAMDEN TOWN - London's Rock and Metal Area and Iconic Music Venues

Музыка

Hi Everyone,
A few weeks ago we posted our latest vlog in Denmark Street. You guys really enjoyed it and asked for more videos like that :)
So we decided to show you Camden Town, which is one of our favourite areas in London. Camden is the main area for rock and metal music and has some of the most iconic venues in the city. From small pubs to big and inspiring places, Camden has it all. We go around and show you some of our favourites and the great vibe the area has.
We hope you enjoy this vlog! If you do, don't forget to subscribe :)

    Can't believe you missed out the Devonshire Arms in Camden, that is the number 1 metal bar in Camden in my opinion.

    it is amaizing... When I used to work in that club in 91, there was different mood in it. I remember gigs like Hole, Babies in Toyland, Cop Shoot Cop, Revolver, Daisy Chainsaw...In that time it was one of the most important indie venue in London. I see, things completely changed;-)

    I went to London for the first time in May last year, and of course I HAD to check out Camden Town. I was absolutely blown away by how it's just absolutely buzzing with alternative venues, music, and people. We don't have anything like this in Australia, it really is a very special part of London.

    I've in the underworld a few times with my friends to see some of the hard rock and roll bands there but as I getting old now I prefer venues that are not too busy or crowded; another good one was "the unicorn" as they have there some times good bands playing, and an old venue that does not exist anymore was "the standard" by Black Horse tube station, it used to be one my favorite places to go with my English mate (my partner in crime) and listen to tribute bands like "Lime House Lizzy", Dirty DC, Rainbow Rising and few more that I cannot remember now........ and what to say about the "ASTORIA", by Tottenham court road station?? that one is long time gone, now there are a lot of shops and the new Tottenham Court Road tube station, the old venue is gone ...........pity as I assisted there to see MOTORHEAD, URIAH HEEP, DIO, HAWKWIND, TWIN DRAGONS, SAXON, BLUE OYSTER CULT ........... and some other bands that I cannot remember (it was too much rock and roll back in the day) but now at my 61 years old I prefer to listen to my heavy metal music in my hifi with my old cassettes (yes I do listen to cassette tapes) and my MD (minidisc) recorder machine..........keep on rocking guys. 😈😈🤘🤘

    i absolutely want to go back to London, had great places for rock music and sadly missed out on it due to an incident. I miss it so much but soon I will return. I like wearing my suits and whatnot, but absolutely enjoy dressing down in a very gothic style feeling stiff free and feel super sociable.

    What you may have not realised as you walked around these wonderful venues is that under your feet is a massive deep level bunker. There are a few KZread urbexers that have managed too get in, and have filmed the interior. No mention of Mods; Ska/2-tone; Madness or Punk, which is what Camden Town is most famous for.

    Loved the video. I was looking for something like this as I will relocate to the UK in a couple of months. Museums and traditional pubs are great and all, but the mainstream "tourist tips and guides" never talk about the music scene, let alone metal and rock. I was wondering if you guys have any insight on how welcoming or not these places (and its patrons) are towards foreigners. Specially non-white people. I know that the metal scene unfortunately has some bad apples regarding this, which makes me a little wary, even though I love underground venues and pubs with live music such as those you showed.

    Hey Oren! Thanks for watching. So to answer your questions: 1) Most of the time venues that hold live gigs will have banes play in the evening/night, but sometimes depending on what the event is, bands can play during the day sometimes too. 2) There is an event called 'Metalworks' which is held every Sunday night at 9pm at The Underworld (the venue beneath The World's End pub, right by Camden Town tube station), and it's exactly that! A live band that plays famous rock & metal covers. They are awesome, go and check it out sometime if your local to London! 😁
